Dear AWBC,
Im planning a BBQ on Saturday night with some of me buds. Current weather predictions are 15c and cloudy, could go sunny, could go rainy, any advice to prep for any such event would be greatly appreciated, also any suggestions of what to cook/bbq tips would be winner, the usual sausage, burger etc on a bbq is great, but your years of experience with varying food stuffs and general BBQ knowledge would be muchos helpful.

First of all on behalf of both myself and my fellow co-founder Scott, I'd like to thank you for feeling that you can come to the AWBC for help.

As far as your BBQ foodstuffs go, I would suggest a trip to www.365BBQ.com where you can check out all our past culinary experiments (aside from the last 3 or 4 which will be added soon!). If you like something in particular and don't feel the website gives you enough info then ask away here and I'll do my best to fill in the gaps. A favourite which springs to mind straight away however would be inverted cheeseburgers, where you follow a standard burger recipe but place a Babybel in the middle of the patty...

If attempting any of the AWBC foodstuffs I would suggest using a standard BBQ, though some can be done on a disposable with enough skill.

Many thanks for your informative reply, the babybel in burger is genius, and exactly the kind of response I was hoping for.

The BBQ hardware available is the traditional disposable BBQ from any near good retailer on naverage about 2.50 a go. On the other side of things the Mrs is turning up with a 'standard' metal home BBQ she nicked from her sis (about foot and a half wide), on the beastly end of things I have my years old much loved metal bin, 4 years running and still going strong, here this simple metal bin with abit of wood and paper to get her going can produce temperatures high enough to melt glass, while the grill is held far enough away from the embers to not instantly evaporate any food stuffs on there, its been shown to cook fast, while not leaving things cold in the middle and not charring things on the outside. The down side to it is, it requires vast amounts of fossil fuels to run, at least 4 large bags of charcol a night due to its massive hunger, really doesnt get a high rank in terms of GPH (grilling per hour), while the little disposable will cook for nearly 2 hours on a handful of charcoal.

Food stuffs: I shall check the 365bbq website and peruse its many food suggestions,

Thanks again AWBC you have reached many people beyond your boarders, even as far as wales,

I am in food heaven over here guys - Chili's is fast becoming my new favourite restaurant chain, and they have Johnny Rocket's over here!!!!! I cant wait to try, after the glowing reviews given by my man-food cohort Chris!
